Chapter 82: The More Essential The Simpler? Monthly Pass)
In the beginning month (January), the weather in the Kingdom of Holm in the north is still cold! Snow is flying, and the cold wind like a knife is howling.
The magic tower of the Aringe branch of the "Silver Moon Song Alliance" is as warm as spring, making every magician who walks in feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts - although they have the ability to "endure elemental damage" and "resist
"Cold" and other spell effects protect me, but the cold wind blowing on my body is still very uncomfortable.
"Hi, Julie, Happy New Year. Is today's "Arcane" here?" At the beginning of the new year, the only thing that allows arcanists to brave the cold wind and come to the branch magic tower is this aspect.
Julie, the female apprentice in charge of the reception, didn’t know whether it was because of the temperature contrast between the inside and outside or other reasons, but her cheeks were red and she said: "Neither "Arcane" nor "Magic" have arrived yet."
After saying that, her eyes were bright and her voice was low: "Gentlemen, have you heard about the Space Observatory?"
"What cosmic observatory?" These arcanists replied blankly. They and others had just celebrated the New Year and were left behind?
Julie's voice became louder and she said excitedly: "There was news from the Atomic Research Institute two days ago that Mr. Evans established a cosmic observation station in the starry sky so that arcane masters who are not strong enough in magic can also study cosmic rays and the vastness of the universe.
All kinds of unknown mysteries in the starry sky.”
"What?" A mid-level arcanist couldn't control his emotions, and his voice echoed in the hall as if it was blessed with sonic spells.
"Is it really possible to go to the stars to study?" Another arcanist's tone was full of doubt and disbelief.
Julie nodded vigorously: "Ms. Heidi and others have already gone up!"
The arcanist with the loud voice believed that Julie would not lie to him about this kind of thing, so he raised his head and stared at the ceiling in a daze, as if he could see the vast starry sky through it and the layers of magic towers.
"The starry sky..." His tone was like a sigh, because most arcanists are full of awe and yearning for the starry sky in the universe, but it is unlikely that they will have the opportunity in their lifetime. Who knows, now
There is such a thing, the great development of arcana has really brought about one miracle after another!
Another arcanist asked in a nervous and urgent voice: "Can we apply to use the 'Cosmic Observatory?' Or are only arcanists from the Atomic Research Institute eligible?"
Before Julie could answer, a clear and steady male voice sounded from the entrance of the Magic Tower: "Of course, Mr. Evans clearly answered the Magic Research Committee, 'Cosmic Observatory,' every time it is opened, it can give the Arcanist of the Non-Atomic Research Institute two
However, you must prepare your own experimental plan in advance and pass strict review. Arcanists who simply go up to experience the starry sky cannot waste the council's resources."
The arcanists in the hall turned around one after another, some asked excitedly: "Really, Mr. Urisian?" Others saluted honestly: "Happy New Year, Mr. Urisian."
The one who walked into the magic tower was Yurisian, who had reached the seventh ring.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Magic Research Committee and ask yourself." Yurisian smiled humorously.
At this time, the arcanists had come to their senses, and someone asked worriedly: "Our experimental plans are closely related to our own arcane research. Will leaking it like this give inspiration to others?"
He said it very euphemistically, but his actual meaning was very clear. He was worried that others would see the direction and foundation of his research from the submitted experimental plan, so that he could complete similar experiments in advance and seize the results.
"Don't worry, all experimental plans are backed up like papers and reviewed by members of the Magic Research Committee. You don't have to worry about the results being stolen." Yurisian replied with a smile. He is the person with the most interpersonal relationships in the "Silver Moon Song Alliance"
One of the best high-level magicians. He has strong ability to do things, so he joined the affairs committee.
Phew, several arcanists breathed a sigh of relief and put down their worries. Some began to think about what kind of experimental plan they could submit to impress the review committee, while others continued to ask: "Mr. Yurisian, I don't know about the alliance."
Do you have any ideas for building a cosmic observatory?”
Yurisian smiled and said: "I don't know, this kind of thing is not decided so quickly, but what is certain is that some legendary magicians and archmages think that the Cosmic Observatory is unnecessary, and it is not impossible for them to
Some people think that it is not appropriate to establish too many at once. This will put great pressure on the parliament's resource reserves. Mr. Evans's cosmic observatory cannot be promoted blindly before it reflects its own value."
"So, although there are legendary magicians such as the Speaker, the Elemental Dominator, and the Storm Lord supporting the 'Cosmic Observatory,' it is estimated that another high tower will be built in a short period of time."
"The concerns of other Your Excellencies are very reasonable. After all, no one knows whether the 'Cosmic Observatory' is useful. Being reckless is not the style of the Parliament." An arcanist nodded in agreement.
Just as they were about to say goodbye to Yurisian, a beeping sound suddenly sounded from the reception desk in front of Julie.
"Hello?" Julie answered the wired phone, "Ah, "Arcane" and "Magic" have been delivered?"
The arcanists who were about to leave stopped one after another, waited patiently for ten minutes, and then bought the "Arcane" and "Magic" journals from Julie.
"This issue of "Arcana" is really thick." An arcanist said to his companions with some confusion.
Yurisian did not go to his office to collect his own copy, but read the unsold journals on the reception desk.
"Quantum field theory? A series of papers by Mr. Brooke, Mr. Storm Lord, and Mr. Evans?" Some arcanists quickly browsed the catalog and found the keyword "quantum field theory"! Upon hearing his words, other arcanists
The magician was even more surprised and confused: "Quantum self-talk and field theory also know it, but what do they mean together? Is it the meaning I guessed in my heart?"
Papers on quantum field theory are complex and difficult, full of dizzying calculations. These arcanists once again experienced the confusion when encountering general relativity and matrix mechanics. Some simply skipped the intermediate derivation process and looked for the conclusion familiarly.
"The nature of electromagnetic force?" an arcanist blurted out in astonishment, his voice filled with deep astonishment and shock. As one of the two most studied of the four basic forces, electromagnetic force is among the Silver Moon among them.
The Song Alliance magician has always thought of the basic structure of the world, the "thing" closest to reality. When did the essence of electromagnetic force be given? Did he jump from not being able to walk to running?
- Among the four fundamental forces currently proposed, although the strong interaction force (currently refers to the nuclear force) is clear, further research is lacking. Even the basic characteristics have not been mastered, let alone a formed theory. The weak interaction force
The force is only a conjecture put forward by Fernando, and has not yet been supported by other experiments. It is not known when it will be clarified. Therefore, after the nature of gravity was initially explained by the general theory of relativity, the nature of "electromagnetic force" became full of symbolic meaning.
Arcanists who are good at electromagnetism have always had many conjectures about the nature of electromagnetic force, but there has never been a complete and formed theory. Today, a series of papers in "Arcana" seem to reveal some kind of brain-congesting theory.
possible!
Yurisian was reading the paper slowly. The basics in the front were the parts he was good at, so there was no difficulty. But after hearing this exclamation, he also turned to the back and read the part about the nature of electromagnetic force.
"Electromagnetic force is an interaction achieved through a series of reactions in which charged objects exchange photons? Virtual photons..." The hall was quiet. I don't know how long it took before Yurisian said to himself.
, this conclusion has complete theoretical support and mathematical description of these simple or complex processes. Whether correct or not, this is one of the breakthroughs since the discovery of electromagnetic force, second only to the Brooke equation.
The other arcanists looked at it in confusion and could only barely understand the conclusion. But even so, their eyes were full of shock and joy: "Is this electromagnetic force?"
If the electromagnetic force can be thoroughly understood, then magicians such as myself who are good at electromagnetism will receive unimaginable help!
"Well, three of your Excellencies have raised difficulties with quantum field theory. How to solve the infinity caused by divergence?" An arcanist turned to the back. It turns out that quantum field theory is not perfect enough and there are still many problems to be solved.
For some reason, this fact made him relieved. Although he was ecstatic and excited to figure out the nature of electromagnetic force, he still felt uneasy and like he was dreaming. Now he is more able to accept it.
The same mentality appeared in the hearts of all the arcane masters present. The appearance of general relativity, a dream theory that transcends the times, is enough. If another one appears, it is really not like reality. They quietly exhaled and laughed.
: "If you can solve the problem of infinity, you will definitely get the Evans Arcana Award and the Silver Moon Medal."
Although they have little hope for this, it is not strange for mid-to-high-level arcanists to solve problems that the great arcanists have not been able to solve. Similar things have occasionally happened in the past few hundred years. After all, the great arcanists have mastered
If you have too much knowledge and accumulate too much, you will be bound by past experience. The average mid-to-high-level arcanist may not be affected too much.
"Huh? "Some Hypotheses on Protons and Neutrons from Scattering Experimental Results", Yaro Lan = Hathaway = Hoffenberg..." An arcanist turned to a paper at the back.
They are very clear about the scattering experiments mentioned in the title. After the discovery of neutrons, proton-proton scattering experiments and neutron-proton scattering experiments have been continuously carried out, and a lot of data has been accumulated. A few months ago, they pulled
Vendy and Morris discovered that in similar scattering experiments, whether charged protons or uncharged neutrons are used, the nuclear force (the current strong interaction force) will not change and has nothing to do with charge.
The general understanding is just the opposite. In order to explain this phenomenon, many arcanists have put forward hypotheses.
"...···Perhaps we can regard protons and neutrons as the same kind of particles, which I call nucleons. Just like some electrons spin to the left, some electrons spin to the right, and some nucleons are charged and some are not.
They are charged, so they cannot be regarded as different particles..." The arcanist read out one of the sentences with a deeply shocked tone.
In the paper, Hathaway introduced a new quantum number to represent this state.
"What? Protons and neutrons are the same particle?" All the arcane masters and magic apprentices present, including Yurisian, said in shock.
It’s not that they can’t understand it, but it’s that they feel unbelievable and worship the essence of the world. Could it be that the deeper you go, the simpler it gets?
"So, there are only three basic particles: nucleons, electrons and photons, and the interaction between nucleons, electrons and photons is manifested as electromagnetic force?"
"Sure enough, the most essential and basic things must not have such complicated classifications!"
"Is this the reality of the world?"
Sometimes, the more complex it is, the more shocking it is. Being simple to the extreme can make people experience a thrilling beauty. Therefore, even though the arcanists have not read the paper, they are also inclined to Hathaway's guess.
